Microsoft has finally admitted that Windows Phone is dead

10/10/2017

Windows 10 Mobile was the last installment for the Windows Phone platform, which was meant to fight against Apple'siOS and Google'sAndroid, but struggled to earn itself a meaningful share of the market. It is only now that the company has come out and said that the tech-giant will no longer be developing new features or hardware for Windows 10 Mobile.

As much as Microsoft tried, the company couldn't quite turn Windows Phone into a mainstream platform.

For those who are still holding on to their Windows smartphones though, Belfiore says they will still support their mobile platform. Belfiore tweeted that the number of Windows 10 Mobile users is "too low for most companies to invest". Belfiore also admitted that he switched to Android operating system himself. The app gap has left a very few users on the platform and app developers are now not willing to invest there time and money on the Windows Mobile platform. Of course, security and bug fixes will still be developed. "Choose what's best for you".

Spain the 11th Team to Qualify for the 2018 World CupThird-placed Ukraine defeat bottom-side Kosovo 2-0 to join Serbia on 17 points, but they have an inferior goal difference. The Manchester City midfielder is the only player Lopetegui has used in all 13 games he has taken charge of to date.

Belfiore attributed the operating system's failure to the fact that many key apps were unavailable on it, which deterred many people from trying it.

Belfiore added: "We have tried VERY HARD to incent app devs". This applies to the Windows Phone as well. To continue mixed reality development uninterrupted, please switch your Insider settings to receive "just fixes, apps, and drivers" without getting a new Windows build from the "Windows Insider Release Preview" ring. Back then, major smartphone manufacturers such as Nokia, HTC, and even Samsung manufactured Windows Phone devices. The new announcement also puts a big question mark on the oft-rumored Surface phone. It seems increasingly likely that Windows 10 Mobile is simply going through the motions until its scheduled retirement next October.
